The odd-even scheme of the Delhi government is a traffic rationing measure under which private vehicles with registration numbers ending with an odd digit will be allowed on roads on odd dates and those with an even digit on even dates. As and when the scheme is implemented, vehicle registrations ending with odd digits like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 would not be allowed on the roads on even dates like 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. Similarly, vehicles with registration numbers ending with an even digit - 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 - would not be allowed on the roads on days with odd number date, like 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15. While Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal used the odd-even scheme in the national capital for the first time in 2016, the concept is, however, not new.
